It took more than a week and the debuts of multiple college football magazines during the sport’s annual June blitz of the nation’s news stands. But the TCU football program finally has achieved Top 25 status nationally and earned a best-in-Texas nod from the folks at Lindy’s Sports.
In the magazine’s College Football National 2017 Preview issue, TCU earned the No. 20 spot in the preseason projection of the nation’s top teams for the upcoming season. The Horned Frogs, 6-7 last year, placed three spots ahead of Texas (No. 23), the only other team from the Lone Star State to earn a Top 25 spot in the preseason ranking.
